Hi All

First post.

I am the owner of a mk2 Supercharged MX5 215 bhp (250 on the way!) and am very interested in building one of these.

I have a few questions.

Will Saturn be at Stafford at the weekend?

Will you be able to use the camber adjusters from the likes of Rally Design front and rear?

Will the MK2 be an option as a donor?

What is the wheel base/ track of the car?

What is the weight of the finished car?

Thanks

Rog

Hi Rog,

Afraid we wont be at the Stafford show, already got other commitments which have to me met.

The front wishbones could be drilled out to take the rally design adjusters but the way the rear wishbones are they will not be able to take the adjusters but can still be adjusted manually for camber.

Not sure about the Mk2 car as a donor, i would have thought that the various parts of the drivetrain have remained unchanged but i'm pretty sure that the uprights have changed.

The track width remains the same as the Mk1 with the wheelbase being similar. The overall car is shorter though due to the reduced bonnet / nose length of the roadster to the mx5. The overall weight should be about 560kg

Thanks for the quick reply.

How much have you taken out of the propshaft?

Cheers

You need to take about this much out of the propshaft...


For those of you reading this on a laptop or small monitor I'm holding my hands 'that far' apart so you won't be able to see them......sorry could'nt resist.

The Vodou wishbones can be made to take the rally design camber adjusters although I'd prefer to make them from steel rather than ali.

230mm Rog, must make sure it's re-balanced professionally though.

Or do what I plan to do and get a new shaft made up

Got the chance to look round an mx5 the other day. I can now see the attraction, turning a car you would not be seen dead in to one you would.

Oi - My last car was an MX5!
I'd challenge you to a fight, but my wrists are feeling a bit limp today, and I've got to cut someone's hair later
